Applications open for AHRC doctoral studentships 2014/15
Posted Thursday 16 October 2014
Kingston University is a member of two Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) consortia offering funded full and part-time doctoral studentships. Both TECHNE and the London Doctoral Design Centre (LDOC) bring together leading academic institutions, cultural organisations and industry partners to provide innovative postgraduate training and support for the next generation of researchers.
TECHNE, derived from the Greek work for craft, addresses the national need for highly skilled researchers in disciplines across the arts and humanities and allows students to benefit from the diverse training opportunities and the expertise of all members. The partnership, led by Royal Holloway, also includes the University of Brighton, the University of Roehampton, the Royal College of Art, the University of Surrey and the University of the Arts London. Students' skills and development will be enhanced by placements and collaborations with 13 arts and cultural organisations, including the Barbican, the Natural History Museum, the British Film Institute, the Science Museum and the Museum of London.
The London Doctoral Design Centre (LDOC) is a collaboration between Kingston University, The Royal College of Art, University of the Arts London and industry partners including BT, the British Fashion Council, and the Design Council. It aims to attract high-calibre students to engage in practise-based research. Central to the centre is innovative postgraduate support, including the development of broader skills and working outside academia through industry placements.
